Fortinet FortiWiFi 31G Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 5-Year (FC-10-WF31G-660-02-60)

Put a FortiWiFi 31G in at a site you will not visit often, and the question is not the hardware, it is who keeps the configuration current for the next several years. The FortiWiFi 31G 5-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-WF31G-660-02-60) answers it by handing device setup and continual network and policy changes to Fortinet’s network operations center for five years, staffed 24×7. It is a subscription license with no hardware, issued electronically to any country.

What this service covers

The Managed FortiGate Service puts Fortinet’s network operations center to work on your FortiWiFi 31G so your own people do not have to run it day to day:

• Device setup and onboarding: NOC engineers bring the firewall into a managed state, set a baseline configuration, and confirm it is reporting in correctly.
• Network change management: routing, interfaces, VPN, and connectivity changes are handled by Fortinet staff through a controlled request process instead of ad hoc edits.
• Policy change management: firewall rules and security policy are adjusted for you, with every change documented so there is a clear record of what moved and when.
• 24×7 coverage: the service is staffed around the clock, so a change or a problem at an awkward hour does not have to wait for your working day.

Who needs it

This subscription fits an organization that owns a FortiWiFi 31G but has no network engineer to keep it tuned: a small business, a branch office, or a remote site where rolling a truck is impractical. It also helps a stretched IT team that would rather hand the routine config and policy work to Fortinet and spend its own hours elsewhere.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiWiFi 31G by serial number. Onboarding with the NOC starts once the service is provisioned, and the five-year coverage window runs from activation. Nothing ships, and the firewall has to be in service so the NOC can reach and manage it.

Operations, not a security subscription

The Managed FortiGate Service is about how the FortiWiFi 31G is run and changed, not the FortiGuard threat intelligence that blocks attacks. Intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering live in the UTP or Enterprise bundle, and most managed sites run one of those next to this service so the NOC has full protection to operate. Together you get a device that is both managed and actively defended.

Why a five-year term

A five-year plan tracks the service life of the 31G, so a single order covers it from install through to replacement without a renewal lapse. It also sets the lowest annual rate of the three options. For a branch or remote deployment that you would rather not babysit, it is the most hands-off way to keep the device managed across its whole run.
